Yep, will take very nice images with you in the drivers seat, as almost any
cam would. Borrowed Maestro Moose's GX 85 for hiking 10-15mi day in the
Dolomites along with my GM-5. It worked well and was a joy to not have as much
to carry.
Marnie was accustomed to my optional large eyecup on the E-M1 Mk2 and we were
both modestly bothered by the stock eyecup. The GX-9 is only a tad larger and
has an option for a larger eyecup that might be able to be
surgerized for the GX-85. It leaves a few megapickles on the table compared to
the GX-9 but has focus bracketing and pairs very nicely with the PL 12-60 and
can do the Dual IS trick. The A7rIII is perhaps a better digital back for OM
Z lenses and is not a large cam, but a bunch more dosh . The price should be
falling substantially with the IV coming out soon--it is available for
preorder now. It is difficult to fathom that there is still no lossless
compressed RAW with >60 megapickles.
